Funding for Truman Sports Complex could be cut if Show-Me State legislation passes!!!

Missouri State Representative Jeff Roorda has filed legislation today that would prohibit state tax credits from going to professional sports teams in a league that does not place at least a one-year ban on athletes who test positive for anabolic steroids.

MLB’s current policy, currently under discussion, calls for such a ban only after the fourth failed test. Roorda’s legislation would call on professional sports league to place such a ban on a player after the first violation.

Roorda is an STL area Democrat and I surprisingly agree with his stance . . . I'm also hoping local politicos might encourage some kind of taxpayer discount if the Royals lose 100 games this year - Which is one of the best bets in baseball this side of whether or not Jose Conseco is going to start with ghey confessions after he runs out increasingly sexy stories only slightly related to steroids.
